EXCITING NEWS EPA Clean School Bus Program: 2022 Clean School Bus Rebates The following message is being sent on behalf of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ):   The EPA has made $500 million available nationwide for school districts and other eligible school bus operators and contractors to accelerate the replacement of school buses with clean and zero-emission buses. This $500 million represents the first round of funding out of the $5 billion Congressional investment in low and zero-emission school buses over the next five years, secured through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.    The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allows EPA to prioritize applications that will replace buses serving high-need schools, tribal schools, and rural and low-income areas. ADEQ plans to contact all priority schools directly but hopes you will help spread the word about this important program.  Click here to view the 2022 Rebates Program Guidance and to learn more about the program.
